Chapter 17 Strife Openly and Secretly

“Well, good girl, get up quickly.”

This gentle voice seemed not with many strong feelings; it was much more real than Empress’s malicious tone.

Lin Mengya raised her head gracefully. The woman sitting in front of her surprised her a little.

Long Tianhao’s good genes must have been inherited from his mother.

The nearly perfect facial features, on Long Tianhao’s face, were handsome as a god. But it was stunningly beautiful on Concubine De’s face.

The plain white skirt was only embroidered with light blue cloud pictures. Her black hair wore languid cloud bun with a hibiscus hairpin.

She was nearly half a century old, even though Concubine De’s face had a little loose, it added more charm to the maturity of women.

She slightly frowned and looked sad, making people feel pity.

Concubine De was really worried about her son.

Otherwise, she would not look at Long Tianhao with some worry in her watery eyes.

“Empress, you see, Concubine De may be a little unsatisfied with her daughter-in-law.”

A slightly provocative voice sounded from behind Lin Mengya. Long Tianhao frowned and looked at the well-dressed figure.

It turned out Concubine Li who confederated with the Empress. No wonder she dared to be so presumptuous.

“Oh? Well, it seems that sister De is not very satisfied before her son’s marriage. Mengya, hurry to apologize to Concubine De.”

As soon as the conversation turned, Lin Mengya became the target again.

The Empress supported Concubine De on the surface, but in fact, she was trying to provoke the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Concubine De’s face changed a little, but she did not dare to speak.

The Empress already had the idea of getting rid of her. She had been even more careful in the palace and did not dare to make any mistakes.

She just felt sorry for the girl of the Lin family. She had her reputation ruined and became a gun of the Empress.

In the hall, everyone wanted to make fun of Lin Mengya. But the new princess just smiled and gave a salute.

She just wanted to speak, but Long Tianhao opened his mouth first.

“Your majesty granted the marriage to me, and I am very satisfied. Mengya, though occasionally inappropriate, is a gentle and considerate princess.”

Empress was only trying to kill Lin Mengya on a trumped-up accusation.

Since this girl was useless, it was just a convenient thing to kill her.

According to Prince Yu’s temper, he didn’t care to kill a woman.

It was unexpected that Prince Yu let Lin Mengya off the hook.

“Good, good. Since Hao likes Mengya, I am relieved. Concubine De, your son is devoted and your daughter-in-law is intelligent. You can move to Yu’s mansion and enjoy your happiness.”

Empress brought up the matter again, but she didn’t sound like she was discussing with Concubine De.

Her sharp eyes were alight with a hint of threat. She picked up her cup and took a sip gracefully.

Concubine De hesitated, but she knew that if she declined again, the Empress would make difficulties for these two innocent children again. She sighed lightly in her heart and had to get up and show thanks.

“Yes, I will follow the order.”

Finally, the Empress achieved the goal, also drove out her eyesore. She was obviously in a good mood.

“Well, you can go to Jinxiu palace to pick up Concubine De and go out of the palace. Your Majesty is uncomfortable and needs a rest, so you don’t have to show your respect. You can go now.”

“Yes, we abide by the imperial decree of the Empress.”

Lin Mengya gave a salute and stood beside Long Tianhao, keeping her mind running.
